Cantillon Blåbær Lambik

RBSG 2008. Thanks to Jason for this sample. Glowing red body covered by a smooth pink head. Sour and acidic as expected, tart blueberry nose. Very dry throughout with a soft blueberry flavor infused throughout. One of the best Cantillons+fruit i’ve had, blueberry seems to work nicely, more mellow and doesn’t seem to accentuate the acidity as much.

Thanks to Papsoe for sending and pepsican for sharing! 750ml bottle. Batch 2, vintage 2007. Poured a murky purple-orange color with a pinkish head. Lots of yeasty bread dough in the aroma accopanied by light blueberry and an occasional whiff of formaldehyde. Odd, but true. Medium bodied with moderate to high acidity. Again, very pleasant yeasty/dought flavor with an intensely acidic, mouthwatering unripe blueberry accent. I also got some funk and a hint of sulfur. A wild ride, literally and figuratively.

Papsoe, seriously thank you for this. Hazy red pour with a reddish white head. Tart blueberry and oak aroma. Flavor is very similar, mildly dusty and good god is that sour. Very tart finish with just a touch of sweetness that..."balances(?)" it out. This was batch 2 from 2007.

sample at rbsg.im not sure which vintage.honestly i could not pickup much blueberry in the aroma or flavor.i picked up some fruit type qualities,but really it was just very sour and very dry.

Bottle sampled at RBSG ’08. Pours with a slightly cloudy, rose body topped by a thin to medium thick head with some lacing. It’s sour and tart with nice underlying blueberry that adds some sweetness. Light bodied, crisp and dry.
